I'm a swedish nyckelharpa player, fiddler, singer and composer who play and make music for nyckelharpa and band (inspired by traditional music, rock, chamber music and pop). With a heart pumping for the nordic traditional music, an education in composing (western classical music) at the conservatory of Trondheim and a great love for funky grooves and kick-ass rock, the result is at the same time both rough and beautiful.
I proudly carry the nyckelharpa out in the world and try to brainwash as many as possible on my way... :) I have amongst other things been a soloist with the Trondheim Soloists (a Norwegian chamber orchestra) on tour in Norway, Sweden, Belgium and Brazil, Jon Lord from Deep Purple wrote the song 'The Telemann Experiment' for me (I'm on the CD and live DVD 'Beyond the notes', recorded in Germany) and I play on Sissel Kyrkjebø's album "Into paradise".
RIGHT NOW: Doing my Nordic Master of Folkmusic at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm (Stockholm/Odense/Helsinki/Voss).
Recording album with the Trondheim Soloists, release spring 2010. Emilia Amper Band (Emilia, Rolf Hoff Baltzersen, Nils Olav Johansen, Håvard Lund and Helge Andreas Norbakken! Top of the pops!). Absolut Trio (Emilia, Anna Roussel on traverse flute and Jonas Bleckman on cello). Playing with master persian classical singer Bahram Bajelan. The Kváda project (with Alf Helge Lund former Lumsk, Gaute Refsnes and Thomas Ovstedal from Cor Scorpii, Marius Olaussen from Åsmegin, Shaun Taylor Steels former My Dying Bride and Heri Joensen from Tyr). I am a member of the board of the Eric Sahlström-institute, and a student representative for the NORDTRAD network.
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
